[ Book as an endpoint ]
The web edition is free. The endpoint is for your tools.
Maha Strategies books can be read freely on the web. The separate entitlement is for structured, machine-readable access through a local MCP bridge—useful when an authorized agent needs exact, heading-addressable passages in its working context.
- Free web edition
- Each book remains free to read in its public web edition. Buying MCP access does not lock or remove the public text.
- What the entitlement adds
- A credential-gated, heading-addressable structured content API for local use through the Maha MCP bridge. This lets an MCP client retrieve named chunks rather than scrape rendered HTML.
- Purchase boundary
- A valid client credential and human approval are required to open a Stripe Checkout session. The current price appears in Stripe Checkout before payment is authorized.
- After payment
- Stripe’s signed webhook mints the book entitlement. The bridge reads the structured content only after it verifies that entitlement.
- Refunds and disputes
- A partial refund preserves access. Access is revoked only after refunds cumulatively reverse the full payment, or Stripe closes a dispute as lost.
[ Local bridge ]
Install @mahastrategies/maha-mcp-bridge, authenticate with your own credential, then use the documented book entitlement and content endpoints. The bridge never receives a merchant secret or authority to make a charge.
